Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver.
#MY BOOK ESSENTIAL 1TB B6C DRIVER#
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available. Otherwise, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the release that can improve your HDD.
#MY BOOK ESSENTIAL 1TB B6C INSTALL#
That being said, make sure this Toolbox version has a new firmware version available for your solid state drive and, if so, hit the download button, and install the software. Once the installation is complete, run the Toolbox and follow the instructions for updating the HDD. When it comes to installing this software, the steps are very easy because all you have to do is get the downloadable package (extract it if necessary) and run the available setup. Once you have updated your drive, reboot to make sure that all modifications take effect. However, before you consider downloading this version, carefully read the release notes for changes that can apply to your HDD. It also displays various pieces of information regarding the connected storage devices and searches for a new suitable firmware version.
#MY BOOK ESSENTIAL 1TB B6C UPDATE#
The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) firmware updater is an update utility that properly recognizes the HDD unit(s) installed on your system.
#MY BOOK ESSENTIAL 1TB B6C FOR MAC#
This firmware version includes support for Mac OS-X Tiger. AG (sticker)ĭSC00437.- Fixed issue of drive dropping off of the list after system wakes up from standby mode From the other posts I figured that measuring the voltage/resistance on relevant components can help with determining where the problem lies.įile comment: 4060-705089-001 REV.
#MY BOOK ESSENTIAL 1TB B6C HOW TO#
It can be removed to get it to flow again.Ĭoncerning measuring voltage/resistance on the board I am the most noobish of noobs - I found a digital multimeter around here but I don't know how to operate it or where to put the leads (is that the right word?) I know that resistance is measured from one end of the component to the other end and voltage is measured against ground or something. Solution #3 There is a safety diode which short circuits when there is consistently higher voltage input. The component can be removed and the pins wired together - this permanently powers up the PCB (we only turned a power switch permanently on) Solution #2: This model with USB 3.0 sometimes has problems with a MOSFET component which does not switch power. Question: Which WD models require chip import and which do not? Sometimes this doesn't work because the encryption key is unique for every PCB/HDD combination - another PCB would generate different key! There is a workaround - importing the responsible chip from the old PCB (patient) to the new one (donor). Solution #1: Get another PCB from the same HDD with the same number.
Relevant information I found during my research: I intend to go to a not-so-local computer service store to ask them to try different cable with the disk, but that is not going to happen right on Monday (today is Saturday for future reference) so I figured I could look into it with someone's help. I have no means to determine if the cable is the faulty component here - I have no other USB3 micro device to use with the cable or another cable to use with the disk. The disk worked fine regardless, although sticking the cable in the disk met with stronger-than-usual resistance. BUT more than half a year back the usb cable end part got a little bent - no more than a millimeter. Over the course of more than 2 years, the HDD has fallen several times - not higher than knee height and always on carpet. Recent behavior: nothing unusual, HDD did not fall, there were no blackouts and AFAIK no power surges, no strange noises. Due to the encryption, however, it showed up as unallocated space.Ĥ061-705089-001 REV. I removed the pcb and connected the disk to motherboard directly via SATA - it DID show up and seemed to work flawlessly. The relevant information was too scarce to be of much help, so I decided to post here. I looked up several other posts by people with the same issue and done some digging prior to this post. HDD doesn't do anything at all when connected to PC. PCB PHOTO ATTACHED TO THE POST resolution: 3264x2448ĭear gurus, I seek your help to determine what's wrong with the board (if anything).
